Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX400H Not Starting With All Lights Coming On
My 2008 RX400H will not start, with all lights coming on: VSC, Check Engine, Check Hybrid, etc. Computer notes all coils are faulting P0351 - P0356 - although this is not likely the case. Battery at 12V. Engine will chug to turn over, then fault codes appear and will cease to attempt to start, with check system appearing. Tried, jumping, changing out 3 of the 6 ignition coils. Any thoughts? Started battery charged and reading 12 volts .. but could this still be the issue?

One of the bulbs went out on our RX400H and I wanted to see if there is a way to access the fog light bulbs to change them without taking off the front bumper? Also, I heard that the fog lights are a H11 but other sources say its a 9006.

I bought a RX400h 2008 (from my dad) last week. I checked the rear fog light today, it does not work. Have some questions:
1) How many rear fog lights on 400h, only on the left side or both left and right sides?
2) My dad had never turn on the rear fog light, still it does not work, bulb or fuse problem?
3) Is it common that the rear fog light does not work?
4) Where is the fuse for the rear fog light located on the 400h?
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2008 RX400H Radiator Bottom Mounting?
how the bottom of the radiator of a 2008 Rx400h is attached? I have the radiator all disassembled except for whatever is holding its bottom to the car. I have a detailed pdf of how to remove a 2006's radiator, but the method of mounting shown for that year doesn't match my 2008.

Between about 20-30mph, on light throttle the engine/transmission of my 2006 RX400h makes a low groaning sound, sending a vibration through to the cabin. The engine just seems to be very rough at this speeds, like the engine is labouring. After exactly 30mph, everything is very smooth. It is also very smooth when running in EV mode at any speed.
The harshness/vibration only comes on when accelerating, so have ruled out tyres etc. The mileage is 85,000, and it has had a recent major service at a Lexus dealer. I use premium fuel.
The Lexus dealer had a look at the car for 1 hour and inspected the exhaust, engine mountings etc. but could find no faults. I went on a test drive with the service technician and he did notice the vibration.
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 RX400h Keys Stopped Locking / Unlocking Doors
My wife said that her keys stopped locking/unlocking doors. I checked the keys and replaced the battery just to be sure. No change. Older keys also couldn't unlock/lock the car.
Both keys can start the car and has blinking red LED flushing when any buttons pushed. Is there a "Remote" button somewhere in a car to allow remote operation?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 RX400h - Horn Works Intermittently After Pressing About A Dozen Times
I just purchased the car a few weeks ago. Horn doesn't work till I press about a dozen times and "get lucky".. Once it hits once I can usually beep about 4 times before losing it. I checked the fuse, looks fine. Haven't found the relay yet.
I suspect it is something in the switching/contacts/ground in the steering column. What I may need to replace in steering column?

I have a 2006, RX 330 with approximately 130,000 miles. I was driving up a hill today and my engine seemed to stall. I pumped the throttle a couple of times and it seamed to take care of the problem. I am thinking it is a dirty fuel filter. Would a pressure test on the fuel line give me the answer ? And yes I did check and there is plenty of fuel in the tank.

View 7 RepliesVolvo - 240 :: 1988 Wagon Rattling And Smoking When Accelerating Hard Up A Hill
i have an 88 volvo 240 wagon with 89K miles on it... it's been passed down through the family, is in great shape and is a joy to own. i have always have it serviced at the volvo dealership and recently had a bunch of work done to it including complete lube, oil and filter change, replaced the radiator overflow cap, replaced a leaking valve cover gasket, replaced the oil pan gasket, replaced the rear diff gasket and added oil, and replaced the sway bar links (it was an expensive visit).
to my dismay, on the way home, accelerating hard up a hill, something under the car started to rattle and black smoke started coming out of the back of the car. i took it back to the dealership and they replaced a leaking seal that they said was the problem, on the way home, same thing with the rattle and smoke happened on the same hill... maybe just stop driving on that hill, right? so i took it back and they changed the oil again (the oil levels were a bit high) and said they couldn't find anything wrong... drove the car home and seemed not to have the problem (though i did take it easy on the hill).
so today, i take the car out for a drive (usually just drive it on the weekend), and accelerating hard up the same hill i get the same rattling and black smoke that continues until i let off the acceleration. by the time i get home (a couple blocks later), it's like nothing ever happened.
Is it safe to drive as long as i don't accelerate hard? Never had this issue before all the work was done, kind of seems like i should take the car back to the dealership, but this would be the 4th time for the same issue...
Accent RB (2012+) :: Knocking Metal Rattling Sound When Accelerate Up A Hill Or Slight Incline
Since about 5000 km, I have had a knocking metal rattling sound happening when I accelerate up a hill or a slight incline. It has happened a few times on flat road as well just more prevalent on the uphill battles. Now I assumed it was jus something loose that was rattling since I installed a cold air intake and had installed hid lights(I thought the ballast was banging on something). I tried and tried to find the rattle but I had no success. I read up on here about other people suffering the same problem and that running higher octane gas would solve it well I tried 89 and it was still there just not as much and I recently started using 91 and its gone haven't heard it at all.
View 132 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: Front Brakes Are Rattling?
2008 GX470.
I replaced the front calipers with aftermarket ones from Auto Zone. They came with new slide pins, clips and the anti rattle spring. I put in new OEM brake pads with the calipers. I reused the existing shims as they were in good shape.
Now when I hit a bump the front left pads are rattling. The anti rattle spring is installed properly. The only real issue I noticed is that the slide pins move back and forth very easily and there is a little bit of wiggle room for them in the holes through the caliper.
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 - Faint Rattling Noise While Driving
Our 07 RX350 has 47,000 miles and I just starting to hear (I think from the front) a faint rattling noise while driving. It's hard to describe but it sort of sounds like what you might expect if an empty plastic bottle was slowly bumping around in a plastic box. It is not a metal on metal type of noise. The shocks/struts appears to pass the old bounce test and the car does not seem to display any of the handling issues you get when you have worn shocks/struts.
I also checked the upper engine compartment to see if any plastic shrouds or covers were loose - they weren't.

I have a 2007 RX350 with about 243,000kms on it. I recently purchased this car and everything is great on it except one thing. As of late, I've begun to take notice that when I accelerate from a stand still (for example after stopping at a light/stop sign), a loud rattling/grinding starts and then as I pick up speed and change gears, it fades away. The sound is more rattling than grinding. As if there is a metal bowl with some smalls stones in it and someone is just shaking that. There is also another sub issue that I'm having. There seems to be a clicking noise every time I apply the brakes or even accelerate. The same clicking noise reoccurs every time I put the gear into drive from neutral. However, when I do that, there is only click as opposed to braking/accelerating, where there are many. I'm hoping this is all part of the same issue and not isolated issues.
View 1 RepliesLexus RX 2004-09 :: Faint Crackling / Rattling Noises From Instrument Panel
I finally bought our first Lexus - a slightly used 2007 RX350 (early VIN - manufactured in Feb. 2006). We are hearing some faint crackling/rattling noises from our instrument panel/steering column after applying the brakes with the car idling at a complete stop. It will crackle and rattle for about 15 seconds and then disappear until I apply the brakes again.
We had a 2008 RX350 loaner the other day and I didn't hear this noise.
Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Metallic Rattling Noise Going Over A Rapid Series Of Bumps
My truck is making a metal on metal rattling noise when going over undulations or the type of vibration when you drive over a rumble strip.
It seems to be coming from underneath the engine area, but not quite sure. The sound is like a kettle lid clanking on the actual kettle when the water's boiling if you can hear what I mean. No noise when just driving.
